Re: [RDD] Streamdata (Song titles) to a shoutcast server
You're better off running a script with nohup taking charge of the command. nohup basically means the process will keep running after the terminal is closed (or your ssh session has ended). e.g on start up run: nohup command_to_run path_to_file_to_save_output This should make the command run in the background with all output logged to the file specified Wayne Merricks The Voice Asia 0121 522 6080 On 10/05/12 22:17, Geoff Barkman wrote: May be there is something wrong to the process running in the background with an ampersand () ?

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Screen and nohup are both handy tools; I read the original post as saying that the netcat instance was actually crashing rather than just not persisting through a closed window (though in this case, netcat would need to be run in screen/nohup in any case - I had assumed this was the case originally).
